Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5.00 g of 3-acetyloxazolidin-2-one were initially charged in 25 ml of carbon tetrachloride and heated to 70° C. under an argon atmosphere. Then, alternately, a solution of 3.46 ml of sulfuryl chloride in 5 ml of carbon tetrachloride and 0.10 g of 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) were added, and then the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the clear solution was decanted off from the solid residues, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. This gave the product (6.80 g) with a molecular weight of 163.6 g/mol (C5H6ClNO3).
